I mean, probably not, but that's sure what it looked like. We just watched a game the other day where the Kings shot 58 threes, and the coach said after the loss that he wished that they'd taken more...

If Zion can't go the Pels could get a little nervous.

Love Davion's aggressiveness out there. Taking it hard into to the Pels defense and giving hard fouls. If you are gonna be called for a foul anyway, make them feel it.

Keegan needs to be aggressive on offense and look at the basket instead of looking at where the defender is.

Lyles should be starting. It's crunch time.

I just don’t get the thinking. The Warriors set a record the other night with 26 made 3s. On 41 attempts. Half of their shots were 3s even when they were at a record shooting %. For us, we want to shoot for 2/3rds of our shots to be 3, even when we’re shooting less than 33%. Really want to see the analysis that says the strategy makes sense

honestly we just need to keep playing like we did in that second quarter and we have a chance. Zion left after we had cut the lead to 7 and only cut the lead by one more point in those last 6 minutes. They are getting their threes on the next pass or two after the pick comes. We did better job running CJ off the line there. Must keep that up and keep the turnovers down. Also need to hit our open threes especially Keegan

The Pels had their huge run to go up by twenty with him on the bench. The more relevant thing that happened in that stretch was De’Aaron was out for the Kings though.
I believe the 2013 draft pre-dates Vlade's tenure as Kings GM so he wasn't part of the purported (and unfulfilled) CJ McCollum draft promise. Or were you referencing something else?

And shoot the ball higher. I have been saying that for two months.

Not gonna happen because the dude’s out for the year but a lineup with Huerter bumped up to the SF spot and Keon instead of HB would’ve been interesting.

Think he was on the floor when Zion and JV got some rest, and we went and closed the 21pt deficit before the end of the first qtr to single digits.
Caccia

I think it was because he ran a poor fast break & did not look for a runner to pass to.

The Pels have made 5 more threes than us, same number of field goals and one less free throw. We are turning them over but that may not continue at that rate. Guard that 3 ball and get those numbers down to a more reasonable level

So is the one that should take the blame for in the building? No idea who that is, it was even a different building back then!

Colby Jones -15 in 2 minutes of action, ouch!

CJ was Petrie’s last draft. Ben was his parting gift. Of course the tale goes that Geoff actually wanted Giannis but was vetoed. I don’t believe that though.
The year before he was dead set on Dame but Thomas Robinson unexpectedly fell into the Kings lap.
Vlade’s first draft pick was Willie Cauley Stein

Murray has to get better in the open floor. That just isn't going to cut it

Why is he so scared of getting blocked. Draw a foul!

Barnes is just too light to guard Williamson.
